Automated side loader
Tracked horizontal grinder
Bandit Industries
COMPACT TRACKED HORIZONTAL GRINDER
Bandit Industries’ new Model 1425 Track is a highly productive, compact track-mounted horizontal grinder equipped with many of the same features as the tow-behind version. This grinder is offered with a variety of tooth and screen options and features a 7-foot-long x 24-inch-wide steel or rubber belt infeed conveyor and a stationary discharge with a stacking height of 7 feet. To further enhance the machine’s capabilities, an optional grinder head or chipper drum provides the ability to produce mulch or a dimensional chip using 14 cutter bodies, while the chipper drum features four chipper knives that will produce a chip ranging from ¼-inch up to 1-inch.
McNeilus
AUTOMATED SIDE-LOADER INCLUDES INDUSTRY’S LARGEST HOPPER
This new Zero Radius Automated Side Loader features the largest hopper available of any side loader on the market and an extremely fast pack cycle, according to McNeilus. It offers an innovative radius operation, ideal for narrow streets and alleyways, and its arm reaches, rather than swings, to grab 30- to 110-gallon cans, with optional 12-foot extended reach. Other enhancements include McNeilus’ simplified CODE CAN-based controls that provide complete vehicle diagnostics, tailgate-mounted CNG power, load-sense hydraulics for fuel savings, and CartSeeker Curbside Automation technology that identifies and locates curbside waste carts and fully automates the operation of the truck’s robotic lift arm without joystick manipulation.
Heavy-duty forklift
Komatsu
HEAVY-DUTY FORKLIFTS FOR HIGHCYCLE, HEAVY LOAD APPLICATIONS
The new FH100-160-1 series of forklifts from Komatsu integrate components and technology from the company’s wheel loaders, bulldozers and excavators, making them ideal for high cycle and heavy-load applications, including recycling and waste management. A hydrostatic drive system allows these forklifts to shuttle continuously with virtually no wear on drive and brake components, and a highly efficient, electronically controlled hydrostatic transmission hydraulic pump and motor system increases operator control, minimizes power transmission loss, helps moderate fuel use and reduces environmental impact. Other key features include: sealed wet multiple-disc brakes that provide protection from dust, dirt and debris, Tier 4 Final engine and Komatsu’s Komtrax wireless tracking and reporting system.
Hybrid material handler
SENNEBOGEN
NEW HYBRID MATERIAL HANDLER
SENNEBOGEN has introduced the 835 G material handler with a hybrid drive system that can be individually configured for demanding applications in scrap and other recycling applications, as well as port handling. This model includes a Maxcab cab offering maximum driver comfort and easy operation, reach up to 20 m, and a wide range of configuration options. The 835 G features easy maintenance, a 188 KW Stage V diesel engine and engine output supplemented by an energy recovery system known as Green Hybrid, which considerably increases overall system output when in use, providing additional working speed and increased handling performance with up to 30 percent lower fuel consumption. Units feature high load capacity, and a newly designed Maxcab cab can be hydraulically raised over 2.8 m.
Super screener
West Salem Machinery
West Salem Machinery’s new Super Screener has been redesigned and manufactured for reduced maintenance, increased production and a longer operating life. New features include a 15 percent lighter basket and increased durability with oversized hangers. Material moves up to four times faster due to the steep slope and stainless steel pan bottom – ideal for wet materials like compost and bark mulch – and a relocated drive allows for an unobstructed flow of material. Optional features include wire mesh or perforated screens, a ball deck for increased material agitation to help prevent buildup and blinding, multiple material classifications, top covers, access platforms and infeed chutes.
